I rode for about 4 months using toe cages - no straps or buckles...

I would never go back to that now, clipping in gives me soooo much power and control.

And Kano... dunno how many times I have heard this litttle bit of biking wisdom...

There are two types of riders... those who have crashed... and those who are going to crash...

May all your falls be low-impact at low speed .... (like the time I headed off, put so much power in to the first thrust down that my wheel spun and I flipped forward over my handle bars... the only thing that was damaged was my pride...)
